Des Moines' Dough Co. makes delicious spin on jalapeño poppers pizza

There are lots of places to spend your pizza money in Des Moines. In the Drake neighborhood, Dough Co. Pizza is a solid choice — especially if you're looking for a lunch deal.

• 🔥 My spicy-loving heart went with the Pepperoni Popper Pizza — a play on America's most beloved appetizer.

What I liked: These New York-style slices are fold-in-half huge, but the quantity doesn't compromise the quality.

• This hit all of my pizza standards: Hot, gooey mozzarella cheese. A quality, thick tomato sauce. Yeasty crust with a little bit of chew.
• The blend of toppings makes it special — salty bacon and pepperoni + crispy onions and jalapeños are obviously a winning combo.

Pro tip: During lunch, you can get a slice, breadsticks and a drink for $7.

Open: 11am-9pm Sun-Thurs; 11am-10pm Fri-Sat; 2330 University Ave., Des Moines
